If this weren't the case, I wouldn't have bothered to transfer my wedding videos onto DVD last year. You just can't argue with that - it's a fact. One of the benefits of CD/DVD media over older magnetic media is data shelf life. Saying things like "nothing lasts forever" and "nothing stays in perfect condition" is just argumentative. A properly cared for DVD will last far longer than 99.9& of people need it to, and will probably outlast the person who owns it.

They are made of polycarbonate, which is a long-lasting material, and the data is stored digitally. If it's kept in good condition, which is quite possible since nothing actually touches the media in order to read it. Fact is, a DVD will last VIRTUALLY forever. The type of person who is always looking for a debate. You're not adding anything to the thread at all. Actually, I think you are the one trolling.
